Hi, "rvm" is useful for keeping up to date with the latest, too. I use it to retrieve "macruby-nightly" every day or so. Thanks, Rob On 15 Jun 2010, at 22:49, Matt Aimonetti wrote: > How would that be simpler than the 1 click installer provided on the website? > http://www.macruby.org/downloa

2010-04-24 Thread robert gleeson
Hey, In Ruby, constants are identified by a capital letter at the beginning of its name, and that is why a NameError exception is raised. If this Objective-C constant is available to you, I don't think it would be available as a local variable in MacRuby. Maybe MacRuby encapsulates this data i

[MacRuby-devel] Please implement fork() ;-)

Hello, I know it has been discussed before and I haven't really gotten a final word back on it yet. With the removal of the GIL, and Grand Central Dispatch fork() isn't really needed to achieve concurrency _but_ I have a particular use case that requires fork() and I'd love to implement my use-

I agree, 100%, with Dave Baldwin. It would be nice to see the overall size of a MacRuby application reduced to somewhere between 5-8MB because of the reasons he listed. I don't think MacRuby can be a big player until we can distribute smaller apps. Rob On 15 Apr 2010, at 09:35, Dave Baldwin wr

[MacRuby-devel] Will FFI make it into macruby?

Hi -- I read on a previous post in the mailing list that some/basic support for C extensions will be implemented for 0.6 .. Great work! And that brought me onto my question, will FFI be distributed with MacRuby whenever it becomes a little more stable? I think it'd be a great addition if a full

Hi -- I'm aware fork() is not implemented in MacRuby yet, and it may never be from what I read but I'd just like to introduce a use case i've come across recently that might have you reconsider? I am writing ruby bindings for the features exposed in the "sandbox" header, and you really need to
